Great for All Ages August 5, 2006

We have a few Robert Sabuda pop-up books. Most are amazing but some are a disappointment. This is a great one. The pop-ups are wonderful, some are interactive and the supporting text is interesting but not too complex for a younger child - most 6 year-olds and up would enjoy the text.
I have a 7 year-old and a 2 year-old and both really enjoy looking through the book (although obviously each getting different things from it.)
It was well worth the price and nicely finished. I especially like the 'stained glass window' in one of the scenes.
There is also a 'metallic' knight in a suit of armour complete with a look of surprise on his face, peering out of his helmut.
I would recommend this for children of most ages and also for adults who enjoy the craftsmanship of a good pop-up book.

Stunning artwork and a paper-engineering marvel that brings to life the romance of the Middle Ages. I consider my copy a collectors item, if not museum quality. Purchased as a gift for a favorite nephew, will need to purchase another copy for him.

My son loves this book. It takes at least 30 minutes to look at everything in the book. Each page is filled with 3-D pictures, and some pages even have flip out pages with more moveable 3-D medieval things. I think it is a great purchase for any youngster interested in this time period.

Our 4 year old son loves this book (His big sisters like it too)! He is learning alot and the pop up pictures really are wonderful! This is a favorite bed-time-book. Although it is fragile...I really reccomend this book!

a beaufully crafted book. the art of pop-ups still has a magical effect that brings out the child in all of us. the content is informative, and the illustrations are wonderfull. if that isn't enough, the pop ups take it over the top. trully magnificent.
